WEBVTT - There's No Doubt It's Dumb 0:00:01.960 --> 0:00:06.240 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:10.280 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty. 0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:20.159 Arm Strong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty. So 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:22.280 nobody watched this but me. I wish I got more 0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:25.119 attention across America. It was Friday night or whatever in 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:27.120 New York City the Al Smith Dinner, and it's something 0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:29.960 they have on a regular basis, is a big fundraiser 0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:35.520 for the Catholics, and traditionally both presidential camp candidates show 0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:37.480 up and make jokes about each other. 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.600 That's the way it's always been for whatever reason, and 0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:43.000 nobody's exactly sure. Kamala Harris didn't show up to this 0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:47.880 one this year, first time anybody's skipped it in forty years. 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:51.640 And my theory is that she cannot pull off humor. 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:55.800 She can't like, she doesn't have control of her voice 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:59.160 and her facial expressions and her weird cackle. 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:01.800 I just I don't think she can do humor. I 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:02.200 don't know. 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:06.319 Jim Gaffigan, the comedian who's been doing Tim Walls and 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:08.880 Saturday Live, he was the MC and one of his 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:11.080 jokes at the beginning was, Hey, camelist, so you can 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:15.080 go on Howard Stern the View, he listened the podcast 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:19.119 Your Daddy. He listed all those things the comments did. 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.600 But you can't come here to raise money for the Catholics. Okay, 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:23.440 I mean it wasn't really a joke. It was just 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:27.920 a criticism really. But one of the weird things about 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.680 is there's just lots of Democrats and Republicans there of 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.520 all different stripes. And Trump was up there doing his 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:36.919 comedy bit, which was pretty damn funny, with Chuck Schumer 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:40.560 sitting right there with him. I mean, so to me, 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:45.279 if you're believing Trump is Hitler in an existential threat, 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:49.240 none of us should be in the same room with them. Shouldn't, 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:52.720 let alone sitting there laughing at his jokes. Yeah, picture 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.760 Churchill there at some fundraiser was Hitler. I don't know, 0:01:55.840 --> 0:02:00.360 Save the Way whatever, Carson. We also have disagreements. I 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:05.160 don't like his mustache. Right anyway. I got a bunch 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.240 of clips who are gonna sprinkle throughout the show today. 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.480 But here's a little bit of Trump when he first 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:11.240 started his routine. 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:14.000 May Adams, good luck with everything, and they went after you. 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:17.000 They went after your mayor. 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:20.120 Ah, boy, I do that. 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:23.400 Nine and a half months ago, I said, and he 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.920 just said something about it, about the administration. He's going 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:31.480 to be indicted any moment, and guess what happened. But 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.360 you're gonna win. I think you're gonna win. I know 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:33.960 you're gonna win. 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.360 Said, good luck, good luck. 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.240 It's a tor pleasure to be with you this evening, 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:45.520 amazing pleasure, and these days it's brilliant pleasure anywhere in 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:53.080 New York without a subpoena for my appearance anytime I 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:57.600 don't get a subpoena. I'm very happy they've gone after me. 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:02.160 Mister Mayor. Your peanuts compared to what they've done today, 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.519 and you're gonna be okay. 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.960 The idea of joking about all that sort of stuff, 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:14.079 Mayor Adams, huh, good luck. Everybody laughs. He's corrup We 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.760 got a corrupt mayor's stealing tens of millions of dollars 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:18.959 in text. May Oh my god, that's hilarious. Ha ha ha. 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:24.520 I mean, just me, he got accused of getting the 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:28.959 hotel upgrades in Turkey and the millions. It just seems 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:35.400 so weird to me. I know, Trump is more rambly 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:40.040 and tough to follow than ever. Sorry, I'm supposed to 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:42.600 be enjoying the jokes. But yeah, he just he leaves 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:47.880 out so many words, doesn't finish sentences. It just I 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.200 remember interviews he did in the nineties, in the early 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:54.560 two thousands where he was incisive. You knew precisely what 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:56.800 he was saying in his reasoning. But he's developed that. 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:00.760 Maybe it's just a comedic style of his but trailing 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:05.960 off every sentence anyway, it doesn't matter. So the election 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:08.560 is tied, has been tied the entire time. I looked 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:12.600 at a chart, so somebody posted over the weekend the 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.760 line for Trump and the line for Kamala outside of 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:19.120 and this is the average of the best polls, outside 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:22.320 of the tiniest wobbles. They've just been a couple of 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:25.680 points apart the entire time. That has never happened in 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.520 any presidential election since polling began. And it's still just 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.720 in that tiny little margin, within the margin of error. 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.479 And that's where we are in the same with the 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:36.279 swing states. You got these seven states that are going 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:39.240 to decide it, and they're all within it, like a point. 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:43.320 Yeah, it's crazy, It is crazy. Yeah, So everybody's heard that. 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:44.320 Everybody knows where the. 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:47.560 Polls are But this is some analysis one amusing and 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.880 two really interesting that they came across that gets away 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:54.200 from the endless polls stuff. I love this. Richard Shinder 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:58.760 wrote a piece who says America is in a company, 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.880 but the current presidential race is reminiscent one. The race 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.240 between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump boils down to a 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:10.160 choice between human resources and sales. Miss Harris's manner is 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:16.040 that of a typical head of human resources. A well 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.640 run HR team secures talent, gives employees important feedback, et cetera, 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:23.680 but employees often perceive it as officious and hectoring. They 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:27.120 associate the department with the delivery of bad news. Given 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:31.599 its regulatory responsibilities, HR often plays the surveillance and reporting role, 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:38.200 breeding employee resentment. HR departments can be inscrutable, fostering mistrust. 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:40.720 So she's the pr professional Trump. 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:44.200 Meanwhile, as the arch archetypal head of sales, his department 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.760 brings in revenue and sures a company can sell its product. 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:49.760 The office is essential, but frequently seen as bombastic. 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.640 Sometimes it lacks sufficient attention to detail and can be 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.880 undisciplined with respect to profitability. A single team's well, they 0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:00.360 focus on the top line, ignoring profits and product holiday. 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:01.320 They just sell. 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:05.200 Mister Trump's rallies often seem like corporate retreats led by 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:10.039 an overcaffeinated sales manager. His messages are aspirational, shoot for 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.200 the moon, you'll get tired of winning, et cetera, et cetera. 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:17.799 And this guy's theory is that while voters can appreciate HR, 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.960 and certainly they understand the importance of sales, we don't 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.320 want the head of HR or the head of sales 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:28.160 to be running the company. A really good executive understands 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.599 how to meld both vibes and fields. I just thought 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:34.080 that was funny HR versus sales, But then this to 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.520 a topic we discussed last week. Unless you have any 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:39.359 comment on HR versus sales, I'm not sure I have 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:46.120 ever worked with an HR professional that I wasn't afraid 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:48.320 was going to stab me in the back somehow. 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:50.760 They have a certain mindset. 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.080 Yeah, yeah, one who I thought was that way turned 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:56.320 out not to be. But it's the nature of their 0:06:56.360 --> 0:07:02.599 work anyway. So arn A Miss is a consultant and 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:05.440 polster he is going to be. 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:07.120 He's being used. 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.159 As a consultant he's not a Fox News employee, but 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:14.160 he's the head of Fox News Decision Desk that's crunching 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.560 all the numbers, and on election Night is going to 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:20.040 be in charge of calling various states and analyzing the data. 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:23.440 We've all seen the coverage, right, and oh, Michael Lett 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:26.040 reminds you, we've got to find that fabulous parody. Oh yeah, 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.200 old great parody of the Decision desk. It's one of 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:29.840 my favorite things that we've ever heard. 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:33.840 We'll definitely be using that to tuesdays from now. Yeah, yeah, indeed. 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:37.400 But anyway, the man who may call the winner is 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.960 ready to make a prediction for at least when the 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:45.880 news will come. Tuesday is election deadline day, because if 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:47.920 you can vote early for a month, what does election 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:52.360 day mean? But Tuesday you have to vote, right, the 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:56.480 over under is Saturday, he says, that's probably about right. 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.280 There's zero chance you're going to find out on election day. 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:01.480 I mean, normally I would plan to stay up late, 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:05.080 but there's zero chance they're gonna know who won Pennsylvania, 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:11.800 North Carolina, probably Georgia, so you know, Wisconsin. So yeah, 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:15.520 we definitely won't know on Tuesday. Yeah, and they go 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:19.240 into the various various details of why with mail and 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:22.800 voting and everything so close and then deciding on signatures 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:23.880 and disputed. 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:24.480 Ballots and blah blah blah. 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.720 But yeah, yeah, if we know within a week, that'll 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:34.560 be good, which is unsatisfying, and again there will be 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:41.280 just just oceans of bitterness, anger, controversy, false memes on 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:47.199 the internet, disinformation, misinformation, and it's evil cousin mal information 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:49.880 if a something to look forward to. Part of it 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.200 is because the election is so close, But part of 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:54.120 it is, you know, well, as you've been saying, the 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.960 whole extending it from election day to election week to 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:02.080 election month various places. And even if you like the 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.560 idea of making it easier for people to vote, the 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:08.400 damages it's done to people believing in the vote is 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:13.480 not worth it. There's no doubt. There's just something about 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:17.720 finding out days later that makes it feel less real. 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:19.520 It just it just does. 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:25.000 Yeah, And it doesn't really matter why or or it doesn't. 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.360 It doesn't do any good to try to talk people 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:32.199 out of that perception, because the democracy depends on not 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.920 only the fidelity of the vote, obviously, but the perception 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:39.720 of the fidelity of the vote, and Honestly, if you 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.360 protect the fidelity of the vote, but people perceive that 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:47.520 it's corrupt, you will lose your democracy. And so and 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.400 I think the rock to vote, get every you know, 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:57.239 dead person and comatose person and the indigent and the ignorant, 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.480 get a ballot into their hands and have them scrawl 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:04.199 an X on the line. Movement that's mostly democratic is 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.640 a serious threat to the perception of the fidelity of 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:08.240 the vote. 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.280 It's difficult to make the case. 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:14.120 Though it's much easier for you know, I could make 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.120 the preceding rambling paragraph a little more eloquent, and they 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:18.000 would come back with. 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.960 You're trying to disenfranchise people, right You're trying to keep 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:25.200 certain groups from voting. 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.400 Right now, that falls disproportionately on minorities. 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:30.160 Joseph, Okay, here we go. 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:34.120 Yeah, here's here's another clip Trump from the Al Smith dinner. 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:34.520 Dig this. 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:39.439 But the press is reporting the Democrats are starting to panic. 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:43.400 They're panicking. They are panicking because, you know, the votes 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.480 that are coming and are coming in very very strong 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:47.520 a certain way. I won't tell you what way that is. 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:53.880 But Chuck Schumer is here looking very lum It looks 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:59.560 it looks to love. But look on the bright side, Chuck, 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:04.600 considering how woke your party has become. If Kamala loses, 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:06.600 you used to have a chance to become the first 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:07.600 woman president. 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:14.920 And I actually said, do you mind if I do that? 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:17.360 He said, now you gotta do what you gotta do. 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:21.040 Is a pro he's a profession So I thought that 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:25.360 it's so the joke in the punchline or something the 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.800 Chuck would get, you know, gender transition surgery and become 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:29.800 the first woman president. 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:31.360 And then the I asked Chuck. 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:32.920 If I could do that, joke says this too much 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:34.120 for you, and he said, now you do what you 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.960 gotta do. So just again, is he Hitler? Is he 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.240 a threat to democracy? Is it the end of the 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:44.640 country if Trump's elected president or not? Yeah? I can't 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.680 decide if it's entirely that the phoniness, or if there's 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.520 an element of Chuck Schumer that's like, yes, please do 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.080 take a shot at the lunatic way out there, transit. 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.640 They're not doing me any good. Yeah, that's that's it. 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.760 That's a decent point there. The only person who never 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.080 democrats maniacs, the only. 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.560 Person who never laughed at all. It left one time 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.920 was Mayor Bloomberg, former mayor of New York who ran 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:08.760 for president. 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.480 Briefly he looked he was very glomp faced. 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.520 He doesn't strike me as much of a great guy 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:19.160 to have at a party, No kidding. Oh, we need 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:20.880 to talk about what is that the October thing we 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.560 mentioned because this is be Chober theory. This might change 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.360 your life, the October theory. It's a new thing the 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:27.720 young people started. Most stuff that the young people started 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.560 going to be around for one day. Probably this will too, 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:32.520 among other things. We got on the way, stay here. 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:36.640 Right head. 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:40.120 Hitter digs in trying it is ready, kicks the livers. 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:43.240 Rudder takes off, swinging a bouncer to the right side. 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:45.959 This should do a Taylor collects on the first and 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.880 it's over. The Dodgers have captured the National League pennant 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:54.280 and they're headed to the World Series. The Dodgers beat 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:56.760 the Mets at six and win it. Here did I 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:57.800 ten five? 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.680 So a Dodgers Yankees World Series. It doesn't start until 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.000 Friday for some reason. I don't know why they need 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:07.400 that many days off, but there you go with that. 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.800 And generally, I think having the biggest stars in the 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.520 game play in the championships of any sport is good. 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:15.480 And you got show here Tony and you got yeah, 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:17.040 what's his name for the Yankees that hits all the 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.920 home runs? And there you go, Aaron Judge, there you go. 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.280 Thank you're thinking of or come to Judge have fun 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:25.959 with that. Would like to be cynical about it, but yeah, 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.760 it sounds exciting. Yankees, Dodgers, bring it on. So we 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:33.400 have regularly talked about New Year's resolutions being a combination 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:37.160 of dumb and whyse depending on how you approach it, 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:41.000 like a specific I don't know, see how long you 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.719 can do a thing doesn't always work out, but kind 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:48.640 of a reset of maybe some of your worst inclinations. 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:50.680 Yeah, I think that's a great thing. 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.480 And you don't really have to do it obviously on 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.280 New Year's Eve if you are eating too much or 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:58.400 drinking too much, or not going to the gym as 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:01.880 often or whatever you're such suation is you don't have 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:05.520 to wait till January first to address that. 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:09.640 May maybe you know when it becomes a need. 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:13.000 But so young people have decided in some meme that's 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:16.080 popular on TikTok and social media, the October theory of 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:19.120 changing your life, which is kind of like a long 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:22.120 version of the New Year's resolution, I guess from what 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:25.400 I understand from reading about it. Dubbed October theory, these 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:28.160 people are rethinking their approach to the last three months 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:30.840 of the year. The reprop their approach to their life 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:32.880 on the last three months of the year, using it 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.240 as a time to set goals, pick up new habits, 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:38.760 and reflect again, essentially taking on the role New Year's plays, 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:42.880 but for the last quarter of the year. While I 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:46.640 am perpetually annoyed by the request that we take seriously 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:51.840 every meme on TikTok or every trend that lasts for 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:54.240 a day and a half TikTok challenge, people are driving 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:57.440 nails into their ears. It's sweeping the nation, and several 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:01.280 kids have gone deaf well, right. And it's interesting because 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:05.960 back in the day before electronic media, social media ideas 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.880 would evolve fairly slowly. They would have to have a 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.240 certain amount of consensus, and then you'd have to communicate 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:12.840 them to other people and that sort of thing, and 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.800 I think there was a real vetting process. Now, the 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.400 most idiotic idea in the world, for instance, driving nails 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:20.800 into your ears, you know that could. 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:24.400 Sweep the globe in thirty six hours and be gone. Huh. 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:27.360 But I am remind this October theory. I'm reminded of. 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.920 You know, every year after Labor Day, when we come 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:33.160 back and do the show, at the beginning of the show, 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.480 usually say something to the effect of a summer's over. 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:39.040 Play time is over, it's time to get serious. 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:39.800 This is the. 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:42.840 Fall, blah blah blah. And it's that idea, the Okay, 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:46.240 the summer's over. What do I want my real life 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:48.840 to look like? How do I want to be? So 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:50.840 I don't hate this one. No, no, no, it's a 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:54.840 pretty good idea. It's a pretty good idea. And I 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.280 have gotten in. My son is really getting in the 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.680 habit of going to the gym, and I can tell 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:00.920 it to be coming a habit. 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:02.520 And as I was explaining to him the other. 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:05.080 Day about how habits work, good habits and bad habits 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:06.760 are hard to quit. So if you can make a 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.880 good habit, man, it's awesome. Like it's very difficult for 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:11.960 me to not exercise because I got in the habit 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:15.400 years and years and years ago, and I just feel uncomfortable. 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:17.520 And if I don't do it in any given day. 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:22.280 But that didn't come naturally. It's very easy to have 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:24.720 the opposite habit. I've got plenty of other bad habits 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:28.040 that are really really hard to quit. Yeah yeah, all right, 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:31.960 you're making me feel guilty, but yeah, yeah, exercise is good. 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:35.360 Maybe I'll use the October theory because everything also has 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:38.640 to have a Jetsy nickname, you know, make the fall 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:42.880 by getting serious time. I like it, man. I'll tell 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:45.400 you what between the holidays you know you've got, and 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:49.320 everything in travel arrangements and buying presents and getting family 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:50.720 together and how are you going to do this and that? 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:54.680 And happiness slash disappointment depending on your situation, and an 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:59.160 election that could get drawn out for weeks or months. Whooah, 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:04.120 So you think we're all going to be drunk, get 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:08.359 some booze hands or something. Yeah, yeah whatever. Your takes 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:14.720 the edge off of choice. For me, it's Pie, Armstrong 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:15.320 and Getty. 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.679 You need you have Brett there and to clear the air. 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:23.280 Yes, I do look like someone made a businessman in minecraft. 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:27.760 I am speaking to Vice President Kamala Harris. Let's welcome 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:32.440 right now to Fox News. Thank you, Brett. The pleasure 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:35.719 is neither about it. Thank you about the Vice president. 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.040 Give me the exact number of murderers you let loose 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:39.280 in this country. 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:42.840 Brett, I'm glad you brought up the topic of immigrate 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:43.960 million two million. 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:44.720 Okay. 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:47.840 The first thing we did in office was to introduce 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:49.160 a bit ten million. Give me a number. 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:51.000 We came up with a. 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:54.280 Bipartisan but you didn't have a number, though, please finish. 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:56.480 I'm asking you to. Well, then you have to listen. 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:58.080 Well I can't because I'm talking. 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.680 Well maybe when I go to bed. 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:02.159 Okay. 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:06.320 So the portrayal of the interview on Saturday Night Live, 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:11.359 which was fairly even handed, despite that clip which leaned 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:16.680 more on Brettbaer interrupting her a lot. Yeah, the difficulty 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:21.280 of managing a filibustering politician impossible. As we talked a 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:23.840 lot about on Thursday to day after the interview. If 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:28.720 a politician doesn't want to talk, your choices are really 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:32.359 be a jerk or wasted the time of the interview. 0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:34.200 Those are really your only two choices. 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.679 Right, Yeah, just give away the time or come off 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:39.040 as a jerk. And when there's as we discussed on Thursday, 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:41.960 if there's a male female dynamic in play, it's even worse. 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:46.159 So anyway, having said that, some non politics for you, 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:53.119 everything's politics. Eventually, anyway, crises at Boeing, an Intel or 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:55.879 a national emergency. According to greg Ip who writes about 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:59.960 this sort of thing, and he talks about how an 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:05.000 and this is part of globalism, which looks absolutely fantastic 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:08.200 on paper during times of peace. But we have given 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:12.680 away our manufacturing might to the point that I mean, 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:16.080 we're still great at designing stuff. But boy Boeing has 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:20.520 had serious engineering problems. It's one of the greatest American companies. 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:24.560 It's now looking at reorganization, maybe even bankruptcy down the 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:28.200 road a little bit. And they go into the challenges 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:31.399 Boeing has had, but hobbled by investigations into crashes in 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:35.080 mid air, mishaps, blah blah blah, and Intel, which passed 0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:36.640 on making chips for the iPhone. 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:38.960 They didn't think it would catch on at all. That's 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:40.840 got to be that ought to be a people talk 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:41.520 about new Coke. 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:43.280 Who cares about new Coke. They spent a bunch of 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:45.200 money promoting it. People said, yeah, I kind of like 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:46.919 the old stuff, So they went back to selling the 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:47.479 old stuff. 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:52.440 It was fine. Intel passing on the iPhone. Everybody ought 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:56.000 to know that story. Wow, no kidding, Yeah, But anyway. 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:59.359 And then they get into a couple other problems that 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:06.800 at Intel and how they'd made several miscalculations and can't 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:09.200 manufacture in the US like it used to do as 0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:10.520 everybody offshored everything. 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:13.040 And you know, both the candidates. 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:16.040 They also make the point that both the candidates are saying, yeah, 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:20.200 we'll take care of this through tariffs and subsidies. Jack, 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:22.720 would you like to talk about a certain nineteen eighties 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:26.720 American car during the time of tariffs and subsidies? The 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:31.320 quality of it my horrible, horrible Ford Mustang. Oh my god, 0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:34.399 it's amazing we ever made anything that horrible at some 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:36.600 of our big companies in America. And I'm a big 0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:40.800 Ford Van right. Oh yeah, their products are fantastic. But 0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:43.840 back in the day when all the American automakers were 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:49.080 protected by high tariffs to keep away Japanese specifically competition, the. 0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:51.119 Quality was absolutely terrible, terrible. 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:56.280 So, anyway, we have a serious challenge going forward as 0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:59.440 a country because we offshored so many of our manufacturing 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:04.080 needs to hostile regimes. And it saved money and it flooded, 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:07.160 you know, the United States with cheap goods. Here's where 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:09.840 Jack usually goes onto a rant, into a rant about 0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:12.520 cheap crap as opposed to, you know, a washing machine 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:14.320 that would last you twenty years and when you broke, 0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:17.840 you were shocked when it broke, rather which anyway, so 0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:20.880 true was everything is disposable, from washing machines to coffee 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:25.040 makers to whatever. Yeah, at the end of nineteen ninety nine, 0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:28.560 which is not terribly long ago, four of the ten 0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:33.280 most valuable US companies were manufacturers. Four of ten today 0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:38.760 zero are Wow. Now Tesla is ranked eleventh, so that's 0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:40.080 right outside the top ten. 0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:45.080 But it's it's troubling. It's troubling. 0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:48.360 And Tesla, which is now vilified for its politics. Where 0:21:48.359 --> 0:21:50.360 did I read a good article about that, about how 0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:54.240 all everything going after Elon Musk is is politics. It's 0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:56.560 just they don't like the fact that he likes Trump. 0:21:56.680 --> 0:22:00.159
